MEET THE NEWEST MEMBER OF NICKELBACK...DANIEL ADAIR
NICKELBACK is currently in the studio recording the follow-up to 2003's The Long Road, which will be released later this year...but you don't have to wait for the new album to meet the newest member of the band...DANIEL ADAIR. What can we tell you about the new drummer? Check out PART 2 of our chat with Daniel below and find out.
Q: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS SO FAR AND WHAT WOULD YOU NEVER REPEAT BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCES?
A: It's a business, like any other, plain and simple, which was disappointing to discover! Think before you talk in an interview! And, never give your contact info out to fans!!
Q: WHAT WAS THE FIRST RECORD YOUR EVER BOUGHT? ARE YOU A BIG MUSIC COLLECTOR?
A: Metallica, Master of Puppets. I have tons of music, ranging from Metal, to lots of jazz/fusion, to Usher!
Q: FOR YOU, WHO IS THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND OR ARTIST IN THE CANADIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY TODAY? INTERNATIONALLY? AND, WHY FOR BOTH.
A: Thornley, I am a big fan of his music and was also a fan of Big Wrecks music, he's such a talent and I love his songs. Internationally? I'd say any fusion or off the wall music that I'm a fan of. People don't have patience for it, I guess it's a bi-product of our modern culture.
Q: WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND TO BE THE MOST TROUBLING MISCONCEPTION ABOUT CANADIAN ARTISTS?
A: If you're a big Canadian band, everybody thinks you're American, and when they find out your Canadian, you're not as cool!
Q: NAME THREE SONGS YOU COULD LISTEN TO A MILLION TIMES OVER.
A: 1) Metallica - Battery, 2) COC - Vote with a Bullet, 3) Dave Matthews - Crash
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE?
A: It's a tie...either Star Wars 3 or Napoleon Dynamite.
Q: WHAT ACTOR WOULD PLAY DANIEL ADAIR IN A MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE?
A: Edward Norton
Q: WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN AND DOES IT REPRESENT YOU WELL?
A: Pieces, I think it works for me!
Q: WHAT IS YOUR MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM RELEASE THIS YEAR?
A: System Of A Down.
Q: WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
A: I'm usually motivated when I let things slip too far, like not practicing enough, eating bad, then I wake up, give my head a shake and hit it hard again.
Q: NAME ONE THING YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
A: Beer!
Q: IF YOU WEREN'T IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS, WHAT OTHER PROFESSION WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE?
A: I'd like to be a pilot.
If you'd like to know more about Daniel, please send your questions to daniel.adair@emimusic.ca and we'll do our best to get you an answer.
